My Favorite 2012 Want2Scrap Projects

Wow as I sit here typing my post for today I am reflecting on all of the projects that I have created over the last year using the amazing products created by Want2Scrap. Some of them are albums, altered art pieces and even some jewelry, did you know you could create jewelry with Want2Scrap products?

Here is a broach created using Want2Scrap Fancy Tags Two Nestaboard and Nestabling Fancy Tags Two Silver Rhinestones.

Here is a mixed media pin using Want2Scrap Baby Bling Red Rhinestones and Designer Embellies Paper Dolls.

I just love the way Graphic 45 paper collections and Want2Scrap bling work so perfectly together!
For this card, I used Nestaboard Labels Eleven, Nestabling Labels Eleven Silver Rhinestones and Finesse Swirls Pearls.

This altered piece started out as a $.25 yard sale find and was featured on the front cover of Just Steampunk Two Magazine so see even those yard sale finds become treasures. For this treasure I used Want2Scrap Nestaboard Sprightly Sprockets and Nestabling Sprightly Sprockets Silver Rhinestones.

And lastly one of my all time favorites..... Corset Fancy Chipboard Album, this album was a lot of work but so much fun, from the Nestabling Fancy Tags Two Silver Rhinestones and Nestaboard Fancy Tags Two to all of the 72 Count Black Pearls and Finesse Swirls Black Rhinestones.

I hope you have enjoyed this walk down memory lane with a few of my favorite projects some are new that you have not seen before and some are recaps. With this being my last post for 2012, I wish you all Happy and Bright New Year! I look forward to creating more exciting projects with all of the new releases for 2013.

Holy Season

Hello, AJ here sharing another Christmas card using Want2Scrap's bling. 

Since the holidays are quickly upon us, this is a quick and easy card.  A quick way to send off some homemade holiday cheer is to use up patterned paper and stamps.  I stamped my sentiment onto the oval die cut, and added some Baby Bling Rhinestones in Red to set it off.  I finished the card off with the Swirls Finesse in Black.

Inked the edges with Clearsnap fluid chalk, tied some bakers thread to the banner and added it to the corner.

Japanese Flare with Want2Scrap

Here we are again with yet another beautiful, creative album that you can only find right here at Want2Scrap! Have you seen all the different styles to choose from, well if you all have been following all the albums that I have been creating then you know how amazing the albums really are, just like this one right here.... the Gates of Love!



For the front of the album, I mixed Sakura Hobby Craft 3D Crystal Lacquer and Terri Sproul Mixer Shimmer Tanzanite powder and painted it on the front, then I used my heat gun to make it bubble. Once it was cooled I sanded the front with sand paper then sponged on some acryclic white and peony mixed to soften the color. But I'm not finished yet....it still didn't have the exact look i was shooting for so I took my trusty Clearsnap Chestnut Roan Fluid Chalk and did a little distressing...there that's what I'm talking about...DONE! Just add some Want2Scrap 72 Count Black Pearls and there you have it!

So by now you are saying wow what pretty paper this is well yes it is the new collection called Bird Song from Graphic 45 who just happens to be one of the Want2Scrap's Preferred Product Partners. Doesn't that look amazing with the Swirls Finesse Black Rhinestones from Want2Scrap?

Let's take a look throught the rest of the album pages, I hope you find some inspiration to create your own album.

Just look how beautifully the paper and the Want2Scrap bling coordinate.

You can hand trim pictures from your paper collections and ad bling to give them just the right amount of flare.



Well, I hope you have enjoyed this beautiful Japanese Flare chipboard album, remember it is the Gates of Love album and you can find it right here at Want2Scrap. Until next time... Crafty Smiles...

 

Shabby Chic Altered Chest by Trudy Sjolander

Hi everyone!

True :D here :)

I'm a card artist at heart, but every now and then I like to mix it up a bit!

I saw this ugly chest at the dollar store and just had to buy it! 

I knew with some pretty paper, flowers, and bling, that it could be a beautiful accent for one of our guest rooms. 

First I gesso-ed the trim to start with a clean slate (sort of... I left some brown showing on purpose), then used lots of acrylic paints, mists, and my fingers to get an aged "painted and re-painted over the years" look.

Looks old to me...what do you think?

  

I added some paper, flowers, some White Finesse Swirls and White Pearls from Want2Scrap and viola!

The lighting in the guest room isn't prime for photos so the color is off, but can you see how well it matches the decor?

Thanks so much fro dropping by today!

I would love it if you left me a little ♥♥♥ before you go! :)

Hugs!
